1. If the quotient is 4 and the dividend is 12, what is the divisor?

• A. 3
• B. 6
• C. 4
• D. 9

Correct answer: C

Rationale: To find the divisor, you need to divide the dividend by the quotient. In this case, the dividend is 12 and the quotient is 4. Dividing 12 by 4 gives you the divisor, which is 3. Therefore, the correct answer is 4. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not result from dividing the dividend by the quotient in this scenario.

2. Multiply 12 by 15 and express the result as a decimal:

• A. 0.0018
• B. 0.018
• C. 0.18
• D. 1.8

Correct answer: D

Rationale: To find the product of 12 and 15, you simply multiply them together. 12 multiplied by 15 equals 180. To express 180 as a decimal, you divide by 100. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.8. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they represent values that are not the correct result of multiplying 12 by 15 and converting it to a decimal.

3. Solve for x: 120:x::40:0.5.

• A. 1.5
• B. 60
• C. 0.167
• D. 16

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To solve the proportion 120:x::40:0.5, cross-multiply to get 120 * 0.5 = 40 * x. This simplifies to 60 = 40x. Dividing both sides by 40 gives x = 1.5. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (60) is incorrect because x is not equal to 60. Choice C (0.167) is incorrect as it does not result from solving the proportion. Choice D (16) is also incorrect because x is not equal to 16.

4. What is 28% of 100?

• A. 28
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. 30

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 28. To find 28% of 100, you multiply 0.28 (the decimal equivalent of 28%) by 100. This calculation results in 28. Therefore, 28% of 100 is 28. Choice B, 20, is incorrect as it represents 20% of 100. Choice C, 25, is incorrect as it represents 25% of 100. Choice D, 30, is incorrect as it represents 30% of 100.

5. A pizza has a diameter of 40cm. What is its perimeter (circumference)?

• A. 62.8cm
• B. 125.5cm
• C. 125.6cm
• D. 251.2cm

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: The correct answer is obtained by applying the formula for the circumference of a circle, which is \(C = \pi \times d\), where \(d\) is the diameter of the circle. By substituting the given diameter of 40cm into the formula and performing the calculation, we find that the circumference of the pizza is 125.6cm.
